Dude! It's a daily experience. I have to shut all windows and kill all fans before I try to sweep the **** up.

Stealing, chugging vanilla extract and mouthwash in grocery store bathrooms, anything short of physically hurting someone to get a drink (luckily he was always able to keep that moral in check). He tried countless times to get sober but fell off the wagon every time to the point of almost everyone he knew giving up on him. I last talked to him about a month ago and he was doing okay. It's got me down even if it doesn't really come as a surprise. RIP Alan. You really didn't deserve that life. Even when you were doing dark **** to get by, you were always a great, heartful person.

Is that the one older friend you've talked about from time to time?

I actually prefer carpet as the hair sinks into it and you just vacuum it up easily. On hardwood floors it goes wherever it wants and jumps around over the dust mops.

That could be a number of people but I don't think so. Are you referring to the guy who wasn't doing well in July? He passed in August.

My grandma is in the hospital, dying from stomach cancer and cirrhosis of the liver. My dad came in from Oklahoma. They don't expect her to live much longer. Got to meet some new [to me] family members.

That's sad to hear [merit]

I was raised by my mom's side of the family. They give me shit when I talk to or interact with my dad's side. I'm caught in the middle, trying to let people see grandkids and what not. It's a tough spot to be in.
